Abstract

This thesis studies the development and implementation
of a material requirements planning system designed to satisfy
the production and inventory needs of a particular plant.
It traces the development of the various management techniques
from the intuitive ordering of parts, through the various
stock replenishment systems, to the design of an MRP system.
Special emphasis is placed on the review of forecasting,
safety stock, and ordering policies because these techniques
will be included in, or used in association with, the MRP
system.
